Title: something better coming
Post by: StephenM on January 19, 2024, 04:21:46 PM
This kicks ass and there is more coming to this into a different song... this is worthy of a listen I think... and I need to make up for that last thing...yikes...
I have really gotten even more weird... so this will grab me back towards center..

one epiphone nighthawk through the Boss ME-25 and some delay on the zoom board

one shecter bass clean setting on ME-25

Tama drums

I messed with this for 2 weeks and could not get it right at all but I liked the idea of it.  I did all the parts and kept scrapping and starting over... but this last time I started with the song in my head and then did a metronome kind of drum on the Tama and I did not know how long but I stopped around 4:30.... I ended up cutting off the start of the drums by mistake... but decided it works ok...

then I was able to get the guitar and bass.  I did the bass in first take... none of this is perfect but it is killer to my ears... and some further song coming from it I hope.music mix.mp3

There is clearly something unique in your style and delivery that makes me know from the first note that this is a Steven M work whether it be vocal or instrumental.  All the time you took with this was well spent.

Awesome Stephen. You really come up with some great rock chords and catchy riffs. The drums are brilliant too. I love it.  :)

Top drawer riffing. I thought of A Robin Trower tune listening to this it has that type of groove. Great tone you are getting. Definitly worth the hard work. Every now and again a song is like that... seems difficult to work it to a finish, a bit like a puzzle you are stuck with but then find the answer. Yeah, mean riffing Steve.

Yeah, that's it! That's what it reminded me of. And there's also a slight 80s metal vibe to it.

It doesn't need more cowbell. It needs more sighs!

Cool grooves and mean rock'n'roll moves!
